Our goal is simple.
We want all students to become proficient readers who just can’t wait to read another book.
Everything you need to support guided reading.
Guided writing is a part of every Literacy Footprints lesson.
It provides a supported opportunity for students to gain additional experience writing about text.
High-quality and increasingly challenging text.
Comprehension takes center stage as students read from highly engaging fiction and informational text.
